Looking to get back into employment?
Training for Work is a programme designed to help you back into the job market
Perhaps you're returning to work after a break, or maybe you've been the victim of a large-scale redundancy. If so you could be finding applying for jobs is more difficult than you thought.
Are your interview skills a little rusty? Is your CV letting you down?
